I host a radio show here in Brighton, called The Albion Roar. It goes out weekly (very weekly - arf, arf) on Radio Reverb - a local community radio station, which can be accessed worldwide.
We had a Charlton fan - Rebecca Sandles, on behalf of CharltonCARD - in last week to record a podcast regarding your ongoing nonsense with Douche Shat A Lot. Some of the information has since been superceded, but the nub of the story is there.
You can hear it at www.albionroar.co.uk or via iTunes (search for 'Albion Roar). A lot of what we talk about is stuff you already know; the podcast is mostly aimed at Brighton fans who don't know the exact story - and many have listened in to find out what is going on. We are offering our support before and after the game on Saturday to you guys (but certainly NOT during it...), so have a listen, and let me know what you think.

Hope you lot get your stuff sorted as soon as possible.
I can't actually be bovved to look it up and listen myself but if it's a short piece could it get a play on our weak-ly podcast? I expect that @LouisMend might contact you about this in exchange for some of his Des O'Connor mp3's?
If Louis wants to use any of it, he can help himself - free, gratis and for nothing.
Rebecca was good but the bloke interviewing her was a bit of a twonk
Just kidding mate - enjoyed it, and good of you to devote so much time to the trials and tribulations up here in SE7. Really appreciate the Albion fans' support tomorrow.
Rebecca stressed that the demonstrations tomorrow are in no way intended to impact the game itself, so Brighton fans should have nothing to worry about in terms of their team's hunt for promotion. But there was an obvious sense of frustration - on both sides - when the questions turned to the exact format of the protests for Saturday.
I would urge anyone going to - or undecided about going to - the game tomorrow to listen to this. It's a 44 minute, heartfelt exposure of everything that Charlton is suffering right now, presented well, by two eloquent, interesting people. If you can spare 44 minutes between now and tomorrow morning, I would strongly recommend it.
Tomorrow's important. This podcast reminds people exactly why.
Hoping to be proven wrong in the remainder of the podcast!
I think Rebecca did a very good job. I think she captured the heart of what is wrong, without going into every managerial change and every silly press release and dumb comment from the club because THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT. It's a fine line between showing this man does not know what he's doing, and sounding like you're giving a somewhat esoteric set piece speech.
To be fair on Rebecca, we asked for someone local at a moment's notice. She was thrown in at the deep end, and by her own admission isn't a nerdy statto. I don't think Brighton fans (seeing as this podcast is who it was more aimed at) want to know every intimate detail - more the sense of frustration Charlton fans are feeling at RD's and KM's behaviour.
I hope that came across.
See you at the start line.
Good luck from here onwards. #FansUnited
